Shop Hop Saturday!

My boyfriend's sail for work was delayed, so we went to New Orleans for a little quilt shop hopping.  This was the first weekend of the Louisiana Quilt Shop Hop.  We only went to four quilt shops, but it was a lot of fun.  Bright Hopes in Mandeville, The Quilted Owl in Metairie, Mes Amis in NOLA, and All Stitched Up in Slidell.  Each shop also had the Row by Row kits and license plates.  Score!  The shops also had a discount for shop hoppers, and each shop had a nice thank you gift.  \

We also stopped for lunch and had a yummy muffletta, did a little gourmet olive oil and cheese shopping, and visited BF's college buddy.  We also had to grocery shop on the way home--we were wiped out by the time we got home and put away groceries it was 9 pm.  Whew!

Here is a shot of my quilty haul:

I would love to go back next weekend and hit some more shops, but I don't think we could handle another weekend on the road. ;)
